The 21st annual Decadent Tuxes and Tails Benefit Auction and Gala will be held Saturday, Aug. 16, at 6 p.m. in the grand ballrooms at the Galt House. The theme for this year's gala is "Fursailles: Let Them Eat Treats."

Individual tickets are $175 and sponsored tables start at $1,800. Proceeds benefit cats and dogs at the Kentucky Humane Society.

The event kicks off with a silent auction, hors d'oeuvres and adoptable pets. It will be followed by dinner and a spirited live auction. The Versailles-inspired celebration continues into the night with the Fursailles afterparty featuring music, dancing and additional decadent surprises. The event is the city's premier fundraising event for homeless pets.

The Kentucky Humane Society finds loving homes for more than 6,000 pets a year and saves every adoptable pet it takes in. Last year more than 90 percent of the pets at KHS found loving homes. At KHS's donor-supported Snip Clinic, 10,000 cats and dogs are spayed or neutered each year. Annually, more than 5,000 children attend a KHS workshop or summer camp where they learn to be humane pet guardians.

The Galt House will offer special room rates and VIP "Take the Elevator Home" packages for Tuxes and Tails guests.
